Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Northampton Town

That game rates amongst one of the most exciting games I have ever seen at Roots Hall.

I agree with you RHB.The fact it was a Friday night game too helped with the atmosphere too i think.Certainly end to end!

With Millwall otherwise engaged, what a chance to leapfrog them and get back into the po positions. And use a victory as a springboard for the trip to Posh on Tuesday evening. Need those juicy three points today. Come on lads you can do it. Let's get at the Cobblers from the off. High tempo from the KO. COYB

Yes it was. We also played them in a crazy end to end FA Cup game earlier that month which finished 4-4. A brilliant game to watch. A Cadette hat-trick and Red card Roy the scorers for us.

And Roy was offside if my memory serves me correctly .......... still, they all count!

McGlashan must start as we are at home and go for it as Northampton play a diamond formation so we should exposes their lack of width.

I still have that on VHS!

If you're using the A127 to come to Roots Hall today............Kent Elms Corner, London bound is down to one lane up to the lights and traffic is heavy. I don't know if the same is true Southend bound but its probably sensible to assume that it is also chocker.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Enjoy the game folks. Will be cheering from afar but at Roots Hall in spirit. 3 points...we will win.
C'mon You Shrimpers!!

Sometimes I hate the fact I live in Birmingham, really wanted to be there today. Unfortunately work commitments have stopped me making the trip. Will be listening on Blues Player. Going to be a very tough game today. Some good news though, my tickets for Peterborough arrived this morning.

 

[Shrimper]

Need to kick on and win our home games to have a chance of the play offs. 2-1 Southend.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

7383 sold so far plus away and other bits so old Roots will have over 8,000 rocking today to watch McG feeding the massed attacking waves:smile:





So, 0-0 it is then:nope:

Welcome back 'cobblers' and 'ntfcfan'.

How is the club, these days, financially, after the debacle with Cardoza?

Back on an even keel thankfully, Cardoza has been arrested and bailed but it'll be a little while before the police are ready to charge him it seems

Great news.

I still think Wilder's achievements last season, given everything that was going on, were extraordinary!

We could do with Bolton doing us a favour and beating Bradford away so we'd leapfrog them if we win.:happy:

With both teams above us, I would prefer a draw so we can gain points over both of them. Am I right in thinking a draw in that game and a 4-0 win to us would be enough to see us overtake them anyway?
